When times are tight, do cities cut police or social service budgets more? In a 🚨new study🚨, I find revenue loss is associated with shallow, temporary cuts to policing and deep, enduring cuts to social services. The article, in Criminology, is free, and I summarize it below. doi.org/10.1111/1745...

📅 Friday 10/24 at 2pm ET, PFRH's @drdylanbjackson.bsky.social will be speaking with Univ. Minnesota's Juan Del Toro on their work examining the intergenerational consequences of incarceration, focusing on its effects on family dynamics and the health of children: events.tc.umn.edu/event/25066-...

say it again: 4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities ROI for NIH and NSF for local economies is conservatively 4x, often close to 10x demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

Check out our scoping review on criminal legal system experiences among families receiving home visiting services. This area is ripe for inquiry. This was such a rewarding collaboration with some of my favorite people, like @awest25.bsky.social and Rebecca Shlafer! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Grateful to AAP's Pediatrics on Call podcast for having us.

Rebecca Fix and @drdylanbjackson.bsky.social of @johnshopkinssph.bsky.social are featured in the latest episode AAP's Pediatrics on Call. They discuss their research on how "The Talk" reduces anticipatory stress about police brutality. Listen now: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

UPDATE: The application portal is now closed as we wrap up review of applications.

PLEASE NOTE: You can still apply to these positions! We begin review of applications today, but you will still be considered if you submit soon. Don't miss out on the chance to work in a collaborative and supportive space with a life-course/population health focus that is TRULY interdisciplinary.

New @johnshopkinssph.bsky.social research in the journal Pediatrics reveals that youth who received "The Talk"—guidance Black parents give on handling police encounters—had lower stress about future experiences of police brutality: publichealth.jhu.edu/2025/study-f...

While I completely understand and empathize with this, I also just want to point out it’s not healthy and we can’t normalize this. Please people - take a break for real! The work will be there when you get back, but you can’t get the time back. Happy holidays!

Thanks @drjuandeltoro.bsky.social for inviting me to contribute to this research!

Hey everyone! I have finally joined, and look forward to connecting. If you don’t know me, take a look at my faculty page: publichealth.jhu.edu/faculty/4049...
